Definitions

  • the invention generally relates to a piston and more particularly is concerned with piston which can be used in a piston cylinder assembly having an improved compression configuration.
  • Internal combustion engines are in widespread use and are used to power crafts and vehicles of different sizes ranging from small radio controlled aeroplanes to large ocean going vessels such as oil tankers. It is therefore not surprising that internal combustion engines are constructed using a wide variety of different configurations which typically used to classify the engine. Common configurations include two or four strokes and a Wankel engine (also commonly called a rotary engine) although other configurations exist such as using five- and six-cycles, a diesel cycle or a Brayton cycle.
  • a primary concern in engine design is improving the power-to-weight ratio of the engine.
  • Wartsila RTA96-C 14-cylinder two-stroke Turbo Diesel engine produces a peak power output of 80,080 kW
  • the power-to-weight ratio of the engine is only 0.03kW/kg.
  • a marginally better power-to-weight ratio is produced by a Suzuki 538cc V2 4-stroke gas (petrol) outboard Otto engine which has a peak power output of 19 kW resulting in a power-to-weight ratio of only 0.27kW/kg.
  • a Wankel engine configuration achieves a better power-to-weight ratio of 1.15kW/kg from a 184 kW engine.
  • BMW has achieved a power-to-weight ratio of 7.5 kW/kg with their 690 kW BMW V10 3L P84/5 2005 gas (petrol) Otto engine. Is therefore clear that different engine configurations achieve different power-to-weight results and that a balance must be struck between achieving a desired amount of kilowatts on the one hand and the weight of the engine on the other hand.
  • a commonly used configuration in motorised road vehicles is the four-stroke or Otto design.
  • Such an engine has four strokes from one combustion stroke to the next.
  • An air mixture containing a flammable liquid such as high octane petroleum is compressed inside a piston-cylinder assembly.
  • This compressed air mixture is ignited at a predetermined time thereby causing in the combustion stroke the piston to move away from a cylinder head of the piston-cylinder assembly.
  • This linear movement of the piston is transferred through a crank to' one or more wheels of the vehicle through a drive train or gearbox.
  • typically such an engine has a sufficient power-to-weight ratio for use with a vehicle, it is often required to improve this power-to-weight to increase the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.
  • Otto engines normally deliver a maximum amount of torque at high revolutions which, when the engine is often revved to a high revolution, could result in reducing the life span of the engine. This may be undesirable.
  • a further aspect which greatly determines the live span of an engine is the configuration on which the engine is based.
  • the piston travels four times along the length of the cylinder from one compression stroke to the next. Accordingly, such engines will therefore have a shorter life span than an engine which is based on a configuration using fewer strokes, for example a two-stroke engine.
  • an engine incorporates more than one piston irrespective of its configuration. Due to the mechanical forces operating inside the engine, it is critical that the engine is balanced as far as possible. As a result, engines ordinarily include an even number of pistons thereby allowing the number of pistons to be grouped in smaller groups each having an even number of pistons. This allows the smaller groups of pistons to move in unison and preferably in an opposite direction than another small group of pistons. However, the use of smaller groups of pistons may still cause the engine to become unbalanced.

  • a length of a piston stroke is increased by increasing a distance (which equates to the piston stroke length) with which a central axis of a crankshaft pin rotates about a central axis of the crankshaft.

This allows the first chamber 40 to be further ventilated as movement of the piston towards the intermediate position forces air to be expelled from the first chamber through the open outlet valve 76. Thus, the first chamber undergoes three different stages of ventilation. In a first stage the movement of the outlet valve 76 to the open position 80 allows pressurised gas or air caused through the combustion process to be expelled through the open outlet valve.

  • the closing of the outlet valve 76 can be advanced to 225° of rotation of the first flywheel 102 thereby effectively allowing a volume of air to be compressed in the compression stroke 182 which is one and half times the volume of the first chamber when the piston 12 has been moved to the end of the compression stroke, i.e. to the intermediate position 180. This allows the piston to compress a larger volume of air than would be possible in a conventional engine.

  • movement of the piston 12 from the ventilated position 178 to the compressed position 176 is largely assisted by the compression stroke of the piston connected to each other with the connecting rod shaft 90.
  • This may reduce the load which is placed on the crankshaft assembly 14 during the compression stroke of a piston as the piston is directly connected to each other through the connecting rod shaft 90.
  • the weight of the crank assembly is also reduced as the pistons are only connected to one crankshaft pin.
  • Figure 10 illustrates a variation 10A of the internal combustion engine according to the invention.

  • a number of lay shafts 206 are used to bear against a respective crank shaft outer journal 208 thereby increasing the stability of the meshed crankshaft assemblies 14.

  • Figures 11 to 14 show possible configuration of how movements of the pistons 12 are interconnected through the crank assemblies 14. Only one of the pistons 12 will be at the compressed position 176 with another being positioned at the start of the compression stroke 182. This allows a piston to be at the compressed position at every 90° rotation of the crank assemblies 14. The pistons are therefore fired in succession and typically at every 90° rotation of the crank assemblies. This is typically not possible with conventional crankshaft designs as normally some of the pistons connected to the crankshaft will only be moved to top dead centre at intervals of 180° rotation of the crankshaft. With the present invention one of the pistons will be at top dead centre at every 90° rotation of the crankshaft assemblies.
  • the internal combustion engine of the present invention can be configured as an in-line engine, a v-engine or a flat engine. However, a flat arrangement is preferred as is able to allow two pistons to be connected with the connecting rod shaft 90. With the in-line and v-engine configurations, the use of only one of the first and second connecting rod sections 92 and 94 will be used to connect the piston 12 to the respective crank pin 104.
  • the internal combustion engine 10 of the present invention is positively aspirated as air, drawn from atmosphere, is forced from the second chamber 44 into the first chamber 40 when the piston 12 is moved from the ventilated position 178 to the compressed position 176. This allows the first chamber to be sufficiently aerated even at high revolutions at which normally aspirated engines may struggle to draw a sufficient volume of air into a cylinder for compression.
  • the construction of the internal combustion engine 10 according to the invention includes a number of benefits of the traditional engine configurations. These benefits include allowing the internal combustion engine 10 to have a reduced weight as the cylinder head will have less moving parts, i.e. only one cam shaft is required to operate the outlet valve where as with the traditional engines one or more camshafts are required to operate two or more banks of valves. Furthermore, the closing of the outlet valve may be advanced to 225° rotation of the flywheels thereby allowing effectively 150% of air to be compressed in the compression stroke when compared to the amount of air which potentially can be housed at the end of the compression stroke of a conventional engine,. This would allow the compressed air to have more oxygen which will increase the effectiveness of the combustion process.
  • crankshaft assembly is contains two flywheels which oppose each other and each of which contains an eccentric or support member which is fitted into a side of the flywheel. This fitment increases the balance which flywheel is may have once assembled. Furthermore, as each flywheel will have its own moment of inertia (which provides stability to the crankshaft assembly) combining two flywheels opposite to each other further increases the stability of the crank assembly through the combined moments of inertia. Additionally, allowing opposed pistons to operate in tandem through one connection rod allows, at least when combined with the combined moments of inertia of the paired flywheels, to increase the balance of the engine. Also, having a smaller crankshaft assembly reduces the overall weight of the internal combustion engine which, when combined with the increased compression ratio, increases the power to weight ratio of the engine.
  • the invention provides a piston which allows air to be transferred through the piston body from one chamber of a cylinder to another of the same cylinder.
  • the invention also provides a crankshaft assembly which allows through eccentric rotation linear movement of a connecting rod into and out of from a cylinder. The linear movement of the connecting rod allows both ends of the cylinder to be sealed with the crankshaft assembly positioned outside of the cylinder.
  • the piston of the present invention also moves with a two-stroke configuration between compression strokes.
  • One cylinder stroke of the piston includes a compression stroke and a ventilation stroke which allows remnants of the combustion process to be forced to pressurised air generated inside the cylinder.
  • the piston divides the cylinder into two halves with combustion occurring in one half and compression occurring in another.
  • Air used in the combustion process is drawn from the compressed air generated in the other half of the cylinder.
  • the piston through eccentric movement of the crankshaft assembly, is also able to compress, in the compression stroke, a volume of air and which is greater the volume of the chamber at the end of the compression stroke.
  • the internal combustion engine also requires only one cam shaft to operate in a cylinder head. This reduces the overall weight of the engine as well as the overall friction factor of the engine which is further improved due to the fact that the internal combustion engine has a two- stroke configuration.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un piston qui permet à la pression produite en aval du piston d'être utilisée pour ventiler une chambre de combustion d'un cylindre dans lequel le piston monte de manière coulissante. L'ensemble bielle auquel est relié le piston fonctionne à l'extérieur du cylindre qui est hermétiquement fermé aux deux extrémités. L'ensemble bielle utilise un mouvement excentrique pour permettre à une tige de liaison qui s'étend entre le piston et l'ensemble bielle de se déplacer linéairement dans le cylindre et en dehors de celui-ci de façon étanche. Le piston comprend une soupape qui permet au gaz sous pression de s'écouler dans le piston.
